VyHE immense amount of Life Insurance
carried in this country makes it Of National
importance that heads of families should be
able to secure it as cheaply as possible consis-
tent with safety. Especially is this necessary
for the millions of men in moderate circum-
stances, who must earn their living by hard
knocks and in the face of a competition that is
becoming keener and sharper every day.
If life insurance is not safe it is not worth
carrying, and if it is too costly, the men who
most need it cannot carry it all. How to make
it both safe and cheap is the problem of the
day, and he who solves it will have done a
great and patriotic service for his fellow men.
The Old Line Companies are certainly safe
when honestly managed, but their rates are
so high, that only the rich can afford to carry
such an amount as would provide for a family,
while the great mass of men, and those, too,
whose families most need protection, are COM
PEELED to 90 without insurance, or seek it III
the assessment companies or secret orders.
The fact that these cheaper institutions are to.
day furnishing more insurance than all the Ola
Line companies combined, shows how eager
are the mass Of citizens for insurance that Is
within reach OF their means. Whlle these
orders and corporations are furnishing insur-
ance cheap enough, yet, at best, they can only,
be looked upon as temporary expedients ana
not altogether satisfactory. But 1t IS pam,
that somewhere between the old line and as
sessment plans there must be a middle ground,
hASh 40 ~ oAHy " Wv
parties.
THE INTER-STATES LIFE ASSOCIA-
TON of Staunton, Va, has sought earnestly
and honestly to find this middle ground. In
this search they have, at large expense, con-
suited and employed the foremost actuarles
and insurance experts in this country, and up
on their recommendation have adopted a line
Of rates which is entirely safe, and yet, is in
the reach Of every thrifty and industrious man
who desires to protect his family against his
death.
To ascertain this safe rate, they added to the
actual death cost experienced by the old line
companies an ample reserve, and then a 1eo-
sonable amount for expenses and profits, but
so limited as to compel economical manage
ment. So plain and fair and popular are its
methods that over three millions of business
was done in the first eight months work. Its
rates are fixed, and must be paid, deaths or no
deaths, but are divided into two, four, or six
payments a year, as may best suit the con-
v%enience Of the applicant.

one is a natural one, but vinegar is not
the best substitute. Tactic acid is n of
the chief agents that give acidity to the
gastric juice of the stomach in health.
This is the acid of soul milk, and, there
fore, one of the best summer diet drinks
that we can use is buttermilk. It satisfies
the craving for acids by giving the stom-
ach a natural supply, and at the same time
furnishing in its cheesy matter a good sup.
ply of wholesome nutrition. A man will
endure fatigue in hot weather better on
buttermilk than any drink he car use.

THE JUDGMENTS OF HIsToRY.-The
Philadelphia Times, speaking of the differ
ent criticisms of the Confederate and the
Federal leaders during the war, says {:
"No failure to establish a government
could obliterate the heroism and achieve
ments of great armies such as those of
Grant and LIE, and of Sherman and John
ston, for when the civil rule of the Con-
federacy shall have been next to forgotten,
the fields of Gettysburg, of Shiloh, Of At
lanta, of the Wilderness and of Appomat-
tox will be memorable in every civiliza-
tion as they are to-day. The judgments
of history on the chieftains of the wal are
settled and they are irrevocable."

A FRUGAL M1ND.-The following has
often been told as a joke but it really hap
pened in down town cigar store the other
Smith was buying a ten cent cigar when a
seedy acquaintance, who may be called
Brown, came in and was invited by Smith
to have a cigar. He of course accepted
the cigar and Smith laid down twenty
cents in payment. At this point Brown
got in his fine work. Turning to the deal
er he asked if the cigars just bought were
not sold at the rate of three for a quarter.
On the dealer replying that they were, he
fshed out a a nickel, and laying it on the
counter remarked: "Well, then, I'll take
the third cigar, if it's all the same to you"
And he did, to the unspeakable astonish-
ment of Smith and the dealer.-NeW York

J THE MORNING AFTER.

I heard a rustic in the hall
Where first westood mid waning tapers;
She met me in her breakfast shawl,
Her crimps all twisted in curl papers.
The night before she looked a queen
In satin sheen and fluffy laces,
But now just where the rouge had been
Her powder puff had left its traces.
Beneath the blazing chandelier
I felt so shy and she so wary
NV brain reeled with a sudden fear
That she might prove a winsome fairy,
And vanish in a golden dream
On gauzy wings, If zephyrs wooed her,
Away from aught that she might deem
The presence of a gross intruder.
Alas ! atantalizing shade,
A cheat she was, q vain delusion!
Is beauty ever thus to fade?
My mind had reached this sad conclusion.
Oh Face OF Nature, always true.
The poet>sang, who never chafted her;
But lovely women, We are few
Whose faces lure the morning after.

FEED YOUR Cows FREELI.-We all
know what a large consumer of food the
cow is. But it would seem to be expected
by some that she can live and produce on
comparatively nothing. On the contrary,
she must first be supplied with nutriment.
Her milk and its products are simply the
conversion of the surplus food tnat she
does not need to supply the waste of the
system, into these products.

The BENTONVILLE MONUMENT.-The
New York World thus refers to the battle
of Bentonville, n. c., and the monument
recently unveiled upon the ground in
commemoration of the dead:
The following is the inscription on the
monument-'To the soldiers of the South
ern Confederacy who sacrificed their lives
in a cause, which though lost, will always
remain dear to their countrymen, this
monument is erected by their admirers
and fellow countrymen." The battle of
Bentonville was really the last of the war,
for, although there was some conflict be-
tween Sherman's troops and those of Jo-
seph f. Johnston up to the very day of the
~latter's surrender, yet these did not rise
above the dignity Of skirmishes. 1t was
also a Confederate victory. Both armies
were composed of veterans, and that Of the
Confederates fought with desperation as
if with the hopelessness born of despair.
In proportion to the number of Confederates
engaged the Federal loss was greater than
in any other battle Of the war. The bat
tie began on April 10th, 1865, and con-
tinued several days. Sherman was in per-
sonal command of the Federal forces.
Badeau gives the Federal loss as 391 kill
ed, 1,45l wounded and missing. Johnston
commanded the Confederate troops in per-
son. His losses he officially reported to be
223 killed and 1,467 wounded, 653 missing.
Johnston's army consisted of ID, 100 infant
nv and artillery. The Federal forces or
the ground were 80, 900. The monuments
a simple shaft of marble, 1Gfeet in height,
and is placed in the pretty little ceme-
terry, Just over the plat Of sWard which
covers the soldier dead.
